Excellent Design

I bought this to be more lean when I travel for business. The sleek design and strong lines makes it elegant enough so that I don’t appear to be “backpacking” with the client. The well engineered details do not go unprotected when using the pack. Can’t wait to grow my collection of these products.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Travel Bag

This backpack served me well on my week long eurotrip. Unfortunately one of the plastic shoulder strap retainers broke off. I would recommend replacing these with metal hardware. I also would like a replacement.

Worked as a personal item on a plane

Posted by: New Zealand Bro
I bought this "30L" backpack as a carry on personal item in it's 27L form for a one month trip to New Zealand. It fit under the airplane seat and although it's technically oversized no one looked twice at it. It also carried my 16 inch Mac Pro with plenty of room. It worked well with the PD toiletry kit and large gadget bag. You cannot get much into the bag without being well over the airline's ludicrous weight restrictions, but no one checked the weight of either carry on at any time. I also wanted a backpack that opened like a suitcase. The downside is that it is definitely not waterproof and some of my stuff got wet. I personally like that it keeps it's shape and can be expanded from 27L to 35L. Also the luggage pass through was a must as I also had a wheeled carry on.

I have the black 45L bag and it may go to every time I travel. It’s been to India thrice, Japan, Italy, Switzerland and countless local trips in California. It can easily be your bag for a 1-2 week trip.

Great design

I've had this backpack for a month and taken it on a few trips. The design is well thought out, making it very functional. If you're using it as a carry-on, you'll likely hit the weight limit before it’s full. Highly recommend!

My little home ❤️

I bought this backpack almost 2 years ago! Most of the year I'm somewhere else, so I like to joke that this backpack is my house (😅). Even I use it a lot, it looks brand new! One of my primary concerns was the safety of my notebook inside, I didn't have any problems yet (always fully packed). Only two things I can think are not ideal. Firstly, is not a backpack for hiking. I like to hike and this is usually my only backpack so I use it anyways, but when I compare it to other hiking backpacks is not as comfortable (the solution I found is to exercise my shoulders and back 😆). Lastly, the chest strap is losable. Since it can be fully detached, it's not impossible it will fall when you have it on just on one side and you will lose it. Thankfully they sell replacement strap, so I used a cheap one from an outdoor store until I could buy it from them.

The perfect back pack for my needs

This bag is great. I carry it every day riding to work. And the best part is how well it adapts to my needs. The bag can adjust so well to carry a little or a lot. I love this bag!

So comfortable, spacious, and beautiful. Compress it for EDC, or expand when you're traveling. My go-to, no matter what.
